I’ve neglected to tell you that I accidentally got a job a few weeks ago. How does one acquire a job accidentally? It’s simple really. All you have to do is be related to a manager who recently fired four employees and needs help.
I can’t say no to anyone, and I was very fortunate to be contacted by said relative first because just yesterday I got a phone call from my former boss offering me a job that would have been hard to turn down. Luckily I’d already accidentally gotten a job and had a good reason to turn down Former Boss. You see, Former Boss has a sneaky way of being hard to say no to. “I want to stay at home with my baby,” doesn’t always cut it for Former Boss.
I was *this close* to accidentally getting a second job.
But back to the first job - I’m working 8-10 hours a week at… well… I don’t really know what to call it, but if you live in the Salt Lake area, you’ve probably heard of it. Five words related to my job are: weddings, centerpieces, banquets, linens, and black pants. The job is definitely different from my former office job, and yet, surprisingly similar.
There has also been another change in the Brittish household. I seem to have lost some hair, a good 5 or 6 inches at least. Unfortunately my new haircut is shaped like a bell so I’m not going to show you any pictures until after my “fix it” appointment on Wednesday of next week. Be patient, friends. I know how you love hair photos, but you’re going to have to wait for these!

I clearly have a huge food problem because the second I read the word “banquet” I became very very hungry.

Sounds like a great new job!
I can’t wait for the hair pictures!

They’re blessed to have you. You’re awesome. And whatever your hair length is, it’s always cute the way you style it.

Congrats on the new job — I bet it’ll be a great experience!
Can’t wait to see the hair next week.

As someone who has accidentally acquired jobs and has a problem saying “No”, to…I empathize.
I’m just glad that you enjoy it and the work load doesn’t seem too heavy.

I’m anxious to see your hair!

Yay new job involving weddings. Wedding of course being fun.
Yes, I’m very, very pregnant. I think I’m even waddling around now. But It’s all good coz I bought new pairs of shoes with heels that I’ll be wearing AFTER I have the baby. For now I stare at them and imagine outfits that would go with them.
